Dancing Star

Dancing Star

Precious child – Dancing Star -
I created no other star like you;
Precious light your restless feet
Ran across Heaven’s blue;
A rising, shooting star in the midnight soared
You reached up to seek for Heaven’s door.

Precious child you graced the sky
With your fiery glow;
Other stars saw your beauty
But this I wanted you to know
No darkness to overwhelm your light
I held you for all of your life.

Precious child – Dancing star - 
How I longed to hear your voice
Welcome my love every day;
How I longed for you to know
I stood by your side, always,
Protecting your star’s light.

Precious child, return to me
I make you whole again.
Wake from darkness.
Wake from sleep.
Now wake up in my light
With eternity in your eyes.

Oh, precious child
Come dance with me through eternity,
No longer waiting to dance with you,
To fill you with my light -
Now, dance with me past the night,
Dance with me in the light.

Come child, dance with me!

Corinne, you took your light from the world too soon.

Thank you Sandra. Yes it is sad and her death was tragic. She was the daughter of a very close and dear friend. So much potential lost to this world that needed her beauty. She was an incredible dancer.

Thank you Tom. This was the brilliant, beautiful and talented daughter of a very close friend. I watched her grow into an amazing woman then watched darkness overwhelm her. All of us who knew her are still heartbroken. Thank you so much for asking. Over Fork Over

Thank you so much Andrea. So good to hear from you. Always a joy. Corinne's darkness overwhelmed her brilliance - her bright dancing star. But, I wanted to show the merciful heart of God, who created her and welcomed her home.
